New research from Intrinsic Insights commissioned by BTL Group (TSX Venture: BTL) has revealed that after reduced costs, the main benefits of blockchain technology are greater data security and protection against cyber threats. The research also revealed:

Privacy of data is the highest priority amongst people in IT at the moment

Two thirds of respondents have trialled or are using blockchain technology

Nearly half of respondents who have not worked with blockchain tech yet will do so in next 2 years

Nearly 9 in 10 technology professionals believe blockchain technology will be as transformative for business as the internet has been. At a time that concerns over data are at their highest, blockchain technology is considered a very adept way to provide greater privacy.
